hi, i'm unable to start my phone. all of a sudden it turned off while being on charger.
The LED now lights dim red (if on charger) and does nothing. Pressing any side buttons do nothing, just the led still lights dim red. Plugging off charger cable doesn't make any difference just the LED turns off.
Can this be due to battery not charging? It has power off shortly ago due full discharge. I plugged in charger, phone turned on for a while indicating charging by LED bright red. Phone was awake about several minutes, then this sudden die.
Any help is highly apreciated.
have you already long pressed the power button until the phone vibrates?
It was solved! The phone kicked in 30 minutes after, now behaves normal.
Anyway curious why the phone didn't start so long. Tho discharged it had power supply.
I replaced battery recently, so maybe a bad contact or the cord dropped out?

so it seems as if when i plug it in, the light about the power button turns orange, yet it still shows the battery at 1%... turn tablet off and plug it in and charging light appears as if its chargings. 30 mins later just to see my progress, still 1% battery remain. reboot jetstream and plug it in, no luck, o now it totally powered off and plugged in to the wall by itself in an outlet that i know works. device is off, charging light appears, lets see by AM
but has anyone else had this problem or am i gonn have to call warranty and et a refurb :/
Just got my prime, plug it in to the wall charger, and it flashed on for a second and showed a red battery icon and then the screen turned off.
I've had it charging for close to an hour now, and it won't turn on.
When plugged in to the wall, i have an amber light on the power button. Tapping power, or holding it down for 10,20,30 seconds doesn't do much, but the amber light will blink a few time.
If unplugged from wall, nothing at all. No light or power.
Am I just being too anxious and it needs to charge for 8 hours before it will even boot up or what?
I plan on letting it charge for 8 hr, but figured I could turn it on and check it out while attached to the power outlet.
What has/was your experience?
Thanks!

That's normal.just leave it plugged in for an hour or two then try again.
Thanks - was able to get it to power on - just showed the battery screen again and shut off. So I just need to chill and let it charge.

Mine came completely dead so just have to wait a little while
Last night I was using my phone to take pictures. I put my phone in my pocket and it still had >80% battery life. I took it out about 20 minutes later and it was just completely dead, no response to buttons, no buttons worked, etc.
When I came home I plugged it in figuring the battery must have somehow died, but now I'm getting a red light blinking. I let it charge for some time now (over 5 hours) but it still won't turn on. I also tried the "hold both volume and power buttons" trick but the red light just stops blinking and starts again.
Any ideas?
Update: Now plugging it in does nothing. No light of any kind.
So I've just acquired a Commtiva N700. It's been sitting in a desk drawer for several years, and the battery is completely flat.
When I plug it in to charge, the red power light comes on, but it remains completely unresponsive. It doesn't even show up as a USB device if I plug it into a computer. After a while the power light will start flashing irregularly. Even after being left like this for a while, nothing happens.
I've followed the suggestion on one of the other threads of taking the back off, disconnecting the battery, leaving it for a bit, reconnecting and charging. I just get a flashing red light again.
I'm suspecting that the battery is so flat that the charger circuitry is refusing to charge it because it thinks it's broken, thus rendering it a brick.
Before I bin it (not worth replacing the battery on a thing like this!) does anyone know if there's any last-ditch recovery I can try?
My wife has a Z4 LTE tablet she bought a little over a year ago that has been working great until the past 24 hours. She was using it as the battery was drawing near zero, but instead of it throwing the normal warning at 5% battery life it just shut down on her. She plugged it in to charge, and 15 hours later it wasn't turning on.
Here's what we've tried:
* Removing the SIM card and the SD card, disconnecting the USB charging cable, and holding down Vol +/- and power button. No vibrations.
* Holding Vol + while connecting the USB cable to a laptop USB 3.0 port. Charging indicator light turns blue. Let it sit for an hour, disconnected USB, system immediately turned off. Pressed the power button. Nothing happened.
* Not hold anything down, plug the USB charger into the stock Sony wall-charger (U.S. market) that came with the tablet. Light turns red for 1 second, green for 1 second, turns off for 1 second, flashes red, then turns green. Let sit for an hour. Press the power button. Nothing happens.
When connected to the laptop, with the charging light Blue, ADB found no connected devices. Tried again with the charging light green. ADB still found no devices.
Frustrated, we disconnected it for everything and let it sit for two hours not connected to anything. My wife tried to turn it on, and we got it to boot! It had 5% battery remaining. Every cable we connected to it, whether to a wall charger or to a laptop, triggered a USB warning notification stating that the USB needed to be connected to a charger, but this notification was immediately replaced with the low battery warning notification before we could click on it to attempt to take any action, if any actions were even available. Hoping for the best, while it was on and now with 3% batter remaining, I tried holding down the Vol +/- buttons and power button again hoping to trigger a device reset.
Now it's back to not booting, and the power indicator light again did the red, green, off, red, green cycle.
We're well outside warranty on this one, and with no cosmetic damage I'm hesitant to try to dismantle it if I can avoid doing so.
I've scanned all the other threads and couldn't find any similar issues, so I turn to you. Any advice would be most appreciated. Any advice that leads to my wife getting her primary computing device back in full operations mode is even more appreciated.
